de Swart, Sebas (author)In recent years, the amount of traffic on the highways has increased continuously and in particular freight traffic. Despite solutions to maximize roadway capacity, the drop of capacity after congestions sets in, remains an active field of study. The influence of freight traffic on traffic flow has received little attention, especially regarding...master thesis 2021

Stouten, Simon (author)Turbulent layers high in the atmosphere cause anisoplanatic phase aberrations, that are responsible for image degradation [6, 33, 46]. Adaptive Optics (AO) aims to correct for these aberrations by sensing them with a wavefront sensor and performing the correction with phase conjugate devices [18]. Various wavefront sensors have been designed and...master thesis 2021

Murugesan, Yaswanth (author), Parayil Venugopalan, S. (author), Nicola, L. (author)Contact between elastic bodies with self-affine rough surfaces is mostly studied with a focus on determining surface fields, despite body fields are of great importance to establish, for instance, when and where elasticity breaks down. This work aims at analyzing the effect of contact roughness on the body fields of compressible frictionless...journal article 2021

Lee, J. (author), Mitici, M.A. (author)Predictive aircraft maintenance is a complex process, which requires the modeling of the stochastic degradation of aircraft systems, as well as the dynamic interactions between the stakeholders involved. In this paper, we show that the stochastically and dynamically colored Petri nets (SDCPNs) are able to formalize the predictive aircraft...conference paper 2021

van der Linden, J.G.M. (author), Lane, N.R. (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author)Due to increasing numbers of intermittent and distributed generators in power systems, there is an increasing need for demand responses to maintain the balance between electricity generation and use at all times. For example, the electrification of transportation significantly adds to the amount of flexible electricity demand. Several methods...journal article 2021

Bal, Frans (author), Vleugel, J (author)Many countries have enhanced their air quality agenda (NOx, PMx etc.) by a climate change agenda (CO2 etc.). A direct way to lower these emissions is by using less energy (fuel) per activity. One of these activities is freight transport. Transport from supplier to factory relies on efficient and cost-effective means of transport. Road...journal article 2021

Leffler, David (author), Burghout, Wilco (author), Jenelius, Erik (author), Cats, O. (author)The paper develops a simulation model and evaluates fixed versus on-demand operational designs of a station-based automated feeder service. The evaluation considers the operational cost and average passenger level-of-service trade-offs as well as distributional differences in waiting times. Two case studies are used to evaluate such trade...journal article 2021

Difrancesco, Rita Maria (author), van Schilt, Isabelle M. (author), Winkenbach, Matthias (author)The explosive growth of e-commerce creates a need for increasingly responsive omni-channel fulfillment capabilities, which raises new challenges in inventory management and order fulfillment for retailers. In response to these challenges, many retailers attempt to establish so-called ship-from-store concepts, which leverage their physical...journal article 2021

Yu, Chuanyang (author), Zheng, Y. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Ivanov, Valentin (author)Many studies have been recently exploited to discuss the path following control algorithms for automated vehicles using various control techniques. However, path following algorithm considering the possibility of automated vehicles with rear wheel steering (RWS) is still less investigated. In this study, we implemented nonlinear model...conference paper 2021

Grassel, Joshua (author), Keller, Alfred Craig (author), Hill, Alessandro (author), Schulte, F. (author)The craft beer supply chain in the USA differs from the supply chain of macro breweries in its structure, handled volumes and product shelf-life. In this work, we study how these smaller craft breweries can benefit from transparency in their supply chain. We consider additional information sharing of orders and inventories at downstream nodes...book chapter 2021

Ekstrand, Michael D. (author), Chaney, Allison (author), Castells, Pablo (author), Burke, Robin (author), Rohde, David (author), Slokom, M. (author)There is significant interest lately in using synthetic data and simulation infrastructures for various types of recommender systems research. However, there are not currently any clear best practices around how best to apply these methods. We proposed a workshop to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in simulating...conference paper 2021

Macquart, Timothée (author)The Netherlands was faced with drought disruption within their Inland Waterways (IWT) in the past few years. The drought of 2018 was so severe that the disruption caused economic losses. As the topic of drought disruption is new, little strategies have been developed to reduce the economic loss due drought disruption. One concept has gained...master thesis 2020

van Leeuwen, Bart (author)The emergence of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) could have a significant impact on traffic efficiency and safety. The effects of CAVs in regular highway traffic are relatively well represented in scientific research. How these effects change in exceptional situations, such as work zones, and how the infrastructure can influence these...master thesis 2020

Merkx, E.P.J. (author)A luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) is a concept from the 1970s that can find novel application as an electricity-generating window. An LSC converts sunlight to light of a different color by a process called luminescence. This light is transported to the edges of the LSC, where photovoltaic cells convert this incoming light to electricity....doctoral thesis 2020

Versluis, N.D. (author)Waste-to-energy is the process of generating energy from municipal waste. The most conventional energy recovery method is incineration, which takes place at a waste-to-energy plant. The incoming waste is collected in a bunker, where an overhead crane stacks and mixes the material before feeding it to the furnaces. The more homogeneous the waste...master thesis 2020

Orer, Ekin (author)In the post processing of acquired wind tunnel force measurements, propeller-driven aircrafts need a preliminary correction of the propeller slipstream. Propeller slipstream effect has two major contributions to the flow field. The first one is the increase in dynamic pressure and the second is the addition of rotation in the flow field. Without...master thesis 2020
